Ever since I found out that one of our members (I'll leave his name out) beautiful 914 was rear ended a couple months back, I've been looking at possible options for a 3rd brake light. The person who will remain nameless for now said that the women in her SUV didn't see him. I'm sure she may have been driving distracted because I've driven behind 914's in my SUV and can see them fine but of course that's all I'm looking at (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
Well besides running an off road whip flag on our cars, I thought it would be functional to install a tasteful 3rd brake light. I haven't done anything yet as I wanted to see what's been done or attempted already. I personally like the LED strip on the 350z. It's not too bright and not as repulsive of just running a LED strip roll. I believe I could install it somehow under the OE roll bar. It may look cool or it may suck but improved visibility for drivers behind you would be a plus. Another option would be something like the 80's Carrera 3rd brake light mounted on the rear deck but that would be lower than the first option. Attached image(s)
